Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Activity A | 35% | 2 | 0.08 | 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 |
| Activity B | 35% | 2 | 0.08 | 2, 4, 5, 6 |
| Activity C | 15% | 1 | 0.04 | 1, 3, 4, 6 |
| Activity D | 15% | 1 | 0.04 | 2, 4, 6 |
a) Process and scheduled evaluation activities
- Activity A. Written test on the content of topics 1 and 5. The weight will be 35% of the final grade.
- Activity B. Written test on the content of topics 6 and 9. The weight will be 35% of the final grade.
The grade will result from the following expression:
Final grade (continuous assessment)= Activity grade A (≥4)*0.35 + Activity grade B (≥4)*0.35 + Activity grade C*0.15 + Activity grade D*0.15
b) Scheduling of evaluation activities
The schedule of the evaluation activities will be communicated at the beginning of the subject.
Students who have not passed the subject will be able to present themselves to the recovery of activity A and/or B, as long as they have been presented to a set of activities that represent a minimum of two thirds of the total mark for the subject and have aaverage mark of all the activities of the subject higher than 3.
The recovery note will result from the following expression:
For each assessment activity, there will be a review place, date and time where the student can review the activitywith the teacher. In this context, it will be possible to make claims about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the teacher responsible for the subject. If the student does not appear for the review, this activity will not be reviewed later.
e) Qualifications
With honors. Up to 5% MH of the total number of students enrolled can be awarded. It may only be awarded, at the discretion of the teaching team, to students with a final grade equalto or greater than 9.
A student will be considered non-assessable if he / she has not submitted to any evaluation activity of the subject
f) Irregularities on the part of the student, copying and plagiarism, use de la AI
Without prejudice to otherdisciplinary measures deemed appropriate, the irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a change in the grade of an act of evaluation will be rated with zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, letting yourself be copied, etc. in any of the evaluation activities it will involve suspending it with a zero.
g) Evaluation of repeating students
